Try EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). It looks wierd if you never seen or heard about it. It involves tapping on parts of you body after you say an affirmation. It doesn't involve any pills at all.

Addiction is an interest of mine. I am not an expert on how it works and freedom from it. Rush Limbaugh was addicted to pain killers. I heard him talk about his therapy at rehab. He said they took him back way into his childhood and deal with what happened to him back then.

I have heard about detoxifying the body as a way to reduce cravings. I think there is truth in this.

In response to your question "Is there any natural or other way to stop opiate wthidrawal ?!!!!?"The answer is YES!!!!

You are also correct: your wife became addicted as a result of the Oxycodone. Prior to starting with the Oxycodone your wife's symptoms would require the Dr. to give her something to relieve the pain. Unfortunatley the standard medical protocol in most cases is palitive care (masking symptoms) and not currative care (eliminating the cause of the symptoms).

The opioid peptides-endorphins, enkephalins, and dynorphins-are powerful natural pain relievers. People who suffer from chronic pain have lower levels of endorphin activity in their blood and cerebrospinal fluid. The essential amino acid DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA) can help restore normal endorphin levels, and it can thereby assist the body in reducing pain naturally with out the use of drugs.

The effect of DLPA often equals or exceeds that of morphine and other opiate derivatives.

DLPA differs in that...

It is non-addictive.

Pain relief becomes more effective over time(withoutdevelopment of tolerance).

It has a strong antidepressant action.

It can provide continuous pain relief for up to a month without additional medication.

It's non-toxic.

It can be combined with other medication or therapyto increase benifits without adverse interactions.

DLPA is generally avail in 375-mg tabs. Correct dosages vary according to the individual's own experience of pain. Note DLPA will not metabolize if you are vit c deficient or do not have enough vit B6 as well as problems with the GI Tract.

Dosage should begin with six tabs per day, 2 tabs 15 min before each meal. Pain relief should occur within the first 4 days. If after approx. 2 weeks no relief occures don't worry! there may be some GI tract or other health problems that need fixing along with the DLPA (this is not uncommon with addiction, and can be fixed) Withdrawal is a symptom of a biochemical imbalance. With correcting the imbalance you can safely and naturally eliminate the withdrawal.

CAUTION: Do not take during pregnancy or nursing. People with PKU (phenylketonuria) should not supplement with DLPA because it may elevate blood pressure, people with heart conditions or hypertension should check with a Dr. before for starting DLPA supplements. Usually, though, it is allowed if taken after meals. Do not take if you suffer from panic attacks or severe anxiety. Do not take if you have skin cancer melanoma.

hi there,
I hope you changed your wife's doc.
Second, have you heard of low-dose naltrexone (LDN)? it's usually used for addictions, MS and some cancers. I am not sure if it treats the kind of addiction your wife has... but I heard LDN is very effective. Make sure it's a low-dose, not the regular dose. It has to be ordered from compounding pharmacies. It tells you on the their website. The official website: http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org

First off, it's very illegal for a dr to put her on very highly addictive medication and just stop. The proper way. Ask for a Meeting With the dr. And be very stern, my wife came to you for help, you gave her medication. She asks for help to get off and you automatically red flag her as a drug user or seeker. Let the dr know by law I was told by an attorney we consulted with that you can not just stop a patient unless they are taking other street drug's,or more then prescribed. That he needs to sit down and draw up a taper schedule week by week dropping doses. Its called a medication contract. You can also turn him in to the medical board.Trust me. I know this cause it worked for me. The dr can also be sued for getting your wife addicted and not helping safely and comfortably taper off. And ask for a blood pressure medication cause it will spike and something for anxiety and sleep. DLPA or DPA helps opiate withdraw, it can be found in whole foods. Along with alkalizing drops in a small bottle made by body rescue. Witch u mix in water or tea, juice, preferably water.That will alkalize and pH balance her body getting the acidity and junk out. Epson salt hot water soaks and lots of bananas or magnesium tablets it helps body achest and restless leg syndrome. And vitamin water flavored rejuvenate, for some reason that helps alot. For the restless leg massage and taking walks, sweating it out the faster if you can take long walks when it's a hot day,then follow w a shower to get toxins washed off. Sleep lots of it to withdraw in sleep. If dr won't help w anxiety meds and sleep meds use benadryl for sleep. Also look up the Thomas recipe. Hope she feels better soon. Prayers also works for me.
